Boyer-Moore-MagicLen

This crate can be used to search substrings in a string or search any sub-sequences in any sequence by using boyer-moore-magiclen (which is sometimes faster than boyer-moore and boyer-moore-horspool).

Usage

For binary data and UTF-8 data, use the BMByte struct. For character sequences, use the BMCharacter struct (however it is much slower than BMByte).

Every BMXXX has a from associated function to create the instance by a search pattern (the needle).

For example,

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

Now, we can search any binary data or UTF-8 data for the pattern oocoo.

There are two search modes and two search directions. The first mode is called full text search, which finds the positions of the matched sub-sequences including the overlapping ones.

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

assert_eq!(vec![1, 4], bmb.find_full_in("coocoocoocoo", 2));

The other mode is called normal text search, which finds the positions of the matched sub-sequences excluding the overlapping ones.

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

assert_eq!(vec![1, 7], bmb.find_in("coocoocoocoo", 2));

The search direction can be from the head (searching forward, find_xxx) or from the tail (searching backward, rfind_xxx).

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

assert_eq!(vec![7, 1], bmb.rfind_in("coocoocoocoo", 2));

To search all results at a time, use the find_all_in, rfind_all_in, find_full_all_in or rfind_full_all_in method.

extern crate boyer_moore_magiclen;

use boyer_moore_magiclen::BMByte;

let bmb = BMByte::from("oocoo").unwrap();

assert_eq!(vec![7, 4, 1], bmb.rfind_full_all_in("coocoocoocoo"));
